Testing Precautions

Check stall speed only if vehicle shows poor performance or acceleration (despite a properly tuned engine). When making test, do not hold throttle open any longer than the time it takes to read tachometer or torque convertor will overheat. Maximum stall speed test time is 20 seconds. If test must be repeated, wait at least 20 seconds.

If engine speed exceeds limits shown, release accelerator immediately as clutch or band slippage is indicated. See STALL SPEED SPECIFICATIONS  .
